#16: Setting the Record Straight About Stomach Acid

Should You Worry About Your Stomach Acid Levels? Here’s What Actually Matters

In this episode, we’re breaking down the confusion around stomach acid - specifically low stomach acid - and whether testing or guessing your acid levels really matters in your healing journey.

If you’ve tried the baking soda test, considered HCL, or feel stuck wondering if your reflux means too much or too little acid, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why symptoms can’t tell you if your acid is high or low

• Common root causes of stomach acid imbalance

• Why the baking soda test isn’t reliable

• What to focus on instead of micromanaging acid levels

• How to support your stomach so it can regulate itself naturally

Let go of the stress around “figuring out” your acid levels and start focusing on what actually leads to long-term symptom relief.
